"I just LOVE that your wisdom and encouragement is GENUINE and rooted in the Word." - Jennie
"I read your post everyday and look forward to them everyday. They are so uplifting, especially to someone who is about to pull their 3rd grader out of public school and start the wonderful adventure of homeschooling. I can only imagine how much I will benefit once he is at home being taught by me." - Wendy
"Character before Curriculum is my new motto and I think I have a pretty fantastic little boy because of it!" - Elizabeth
"As someone who started out as a secular homeschooler, finding your blog was a turning point for me. I have felt supported by this online community as my reasons for continuing to homeschool have changed and are more to do with God and less to do with the SAT’s each day. I tell others about your blog in hopes they will be inspired as well." - Elizabeth
"Your blog reminds me that I’m not just a mom who homeschools but that by investing in my children and sheparding their hearts I am directly impacting eternity. What a high calling it is to be a mother!" - Danielle
"Your blog is like a hug, a bit of camaraderie, somewhere I can check in and see that I’m really doing all right and I’m not alone out here." - Katie
"I recommend “The Busy Homeschool Mom” because it’s my number one reminder that God comes first and then my husband comes before EVERYTHING else. As homeschool moms, our families and marriages can fall apart when we get it out of order. When I first found TBHM, I was thrilled to see that putting my husband before kids was the RIGHT thing to do. Such a marriage changer! What a joy to celebrate being “That Girl” and sharing with other mom friends that they are also “THAT girl”. My husband definitely says thank you for helping me get my priorities in order!" - Tracye
"I am a new homeschool mom and was ready to give up when I stumbled across your site. I read your site and cried and cried. I realized I wasn’t alone and that I could do this – your site encourages me." - Andrea
"Oh my gosh it’s great just knowing that I’m not alone in the busy homeschool mom world!! There are others who go thru what I do or feel how I feel and I (and my kids) will survive!! Haha Heidi, you encourage me everyday just by being real! You encourage me to love my kiddos and hubby more! I so appreciate all your wisdom! God bless you!!!" - Sarah

Hey Heidi,
I couldn’t find a contact link, so I thought I would ask you my question here. Have you found a curriculum or resources/method that you really like for Bible/discipleship through the teen years? I have a 13 year old boy and an 11 year old boy. Thanks so much! You are so super encouraging–thanks for blessing us. Blessings on you!
